Rosa 'Alpine Sunset' is an apricot blend hybrid tea rose developed by Roger Pawsey of Cants of Colchester, Essex in 1973.

Cants of Colchester is the oldest firm of commercial rose growers in Great Britain.

The nursery originally sold a variety of plants, seeds, bulbs and trees.

The rivalry between the two nurseries lasted until the 1960s, when their descendants decided to merge the two family businesses into one company.

Blooms have an average diameter of 4-5 in (10–13 cm) with 30 or more petals and a strong fragrance.
